"Doc" · 2004-06-19T22:23:20+00:00

Hi guys,My neighbor just gave me his old 87' Astro Van (yes, just gave it to me,great neighbor eh?) for parts or to sell. While the 700R4 would go nicelyin my El Camino I'd rather sell the thing outright so someone can get someuse out of it.1987, Chevy Astro, 2WD. 4.3L TBI, TH700R4 transmission. 330,000 Mobil 1miles (230K on rebuilt Jasper engine, original tranny). Starts, runs anddrives great, as it's been very well maintained. Doesn't burn oil, coolantor anything else other than gas, he he he. The body shows it's age, paintis decent but clearcoat is long gone. All of the sheetmetal is straight anddent-free. Typical rusted-out rocker panels, but other than that verylittle rust. Interior is decent, upholstery is clean and no rips or tearsthat I can see. Great rubber (Uniroyals) with 95% of tread remaining.Clean Title.What it needs: brake lines all the way around. The current lines are intactbut likely to disentegrate anytime now as they're pretty bad. There is agas leak somewhere high up in the fuel circuit, my guess is the fuel tanksending unit lines are rusted out, but it could be somewhere else. There isa decent oil leak, either front seal or oil pan, haven't really looked.If anyone is interested and has SPECIFIC questions, I'll run out to thegarage and get the answers for ya. Pics available on request. If you'rereally interested I might be persuaded into fixing the problems for a couplebucks before you pick it up.$500 as-is OBO. Located in East Central Ohio (Akron area). Post here tothe ng or e-mail me directly gmc(underscore)man(at)adelphia(dot)net If Idon't sell it here I'm putting it on E-Bay, thought I'd ask here first.Doc

330k on the ODO, 230K on a jasper engine. Runs really well, decent power, looks ok for it's age and mileage as well. I'm gunna snap some pics and put her up on E-Bay and see how she does.
